Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10032.32.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.42 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Settings 2. Search for a feature that you know is there, but you cannot find. 3. Search does not find it either. What is the expected behavior? Search should be able to do a full-text search of the entire Settings feature. What went wrong? Since the Material Design update, many features are in unfamiliar locations. Users depend on Search to find them. In most cases Search works extremely well, but fails at times. Specifically, trying to find the physical keyboard auto-correct setting (search "auto", or "correction", auto-correct or other variants). The appropriate Settings page: chrome-extension://jkghodnilhceideoidjikpgommlajknk/hmm_options.html?code=xkb:us::eng is never found. There are other similar missing terms. The core issue might be the fact that auto-correct is on a separate page. Did this work before? Yes Prior to the Material Design change.

Settings search feature, searches everything within the Settings page itself, with a few exceptions that are tracked by issue 783549. How would it find a string that resides within an extension's Options page, like chrome-extension://jkghodnilhceideoidjikpgommlajknk/hmm_options.html?code=xkb:us::eng Perhaps I am misunderstanding the issue here. Please post a screenshot to make it clearer, or even better a screenshot of the expected result from the old UI on M58 (before MD Settings).

Thanks for the screenshots. As the first one shows, the search for "auto" does highlight a result in the Keyboard sub-page of the Device section. But this is because of the "auto-repeat" keyboard setting, not because of any autocorrect option -- there aren't any autocorrect options in chrome://settings. I don't think the old (pre-Material Design) Settings page had any autocorrect options either. I doubt searching "autocorrect" or "auto-correct" would shown returned any results in the old Settings page. So, IMO, the issue here is that the autocorrect option is hard to find because it's buried within the input method extension's options, like dpapad@ explained. Same with other per-input-method settings, like auto-capitalization, and on-screen keyboard settings. To find the options for a particular input method from Chrome Settings, you'd have to: 1. Open Advanced section 2. Scroll to "Languages and input" section 3. Expand the "Input method" list 4. Next to the input method (e.g. "US keyboard"), click the icon at the right to launch the input method's options page The new tab that opens shows options for that input method, including autocorrect (if available). This whole Help Center article has apparently not been updated for MD Settings(!), but the instructions are still reasonably accurate: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1047364?hl=en&vid=0-738752968739-1511028233644 Maybe we should consider other ways of exposing per-input-method options.
